Hi Guys,

I've decided to convert my site from a table based layout into CSS (or as much as I can). I'm having trouble working out what to do with this particular table though:

<table>
<tr>
<td style="vertical-align:top">
<!-- [left-blocks] -->
</td>
<td style="vertical-align:top;width:100%">
<!-- [center-blocks] --><!-- [modules] -->
</td>
<td style="vertical-align:top">
<!-- [right-blocks] -->
</td>
</tr>
</table>

My site is www.aussiepythons.com - this is the table which positions the left and right blocks and keeps the content in the middle.

Any assistance would be appreciated.

hello nanabite and welcome to WebmasterWorld

what you are looking for is a "css three column layout" - try googleing it ;-) - some tutorials will be using absolute positioning and other won't.

if you add - holy grail - at the end of your quesry you will find other tutorials.

also for future reference - giving your website URL is against this forum TOS - but no worries it's a mistake I also made when starting here - a mod will remove it from your post.

hope this helped

Thanks mate - I'll get searching :D

And thanks for the tip on the URL thing, I really should start learning to read the rules before I start posting at places.
